Foxglove 2.49.0

📅 Interactive Timeline​

The Timeline now shows device coverage on a continuous time axis—one row per device—so you can pan and zoom within the range you care about. Hover along a row to see device and time, drag to select a range that stays visible until you dismiss it, and share links that open with your selection already in view.

📈 Plot Panel: Current and Preview Point Indicators​

When the Plot panel X-axis value type is set to Message path, a visual indicator now highlights the points at the current playback time. Hovering over the playback timeline shows a preview indicator at the corresponding data points.

🖼️ GPU-Accelerated Image Decoding​

Raw image decoding in the Image and 3D panels now uses WebGPU for faster performance when available, falling back to software decoding when it isn't. This release also adds NV12 (YUV 4:2:0) support and more accurate colors for common UYVY and YUYV camera formats.

New & Improved
  • Gauge, Indicator, Markdown, and State Transitions panels now reject Plot-only time-series message path functions with clear errors; Plot continues to support them
